Six 3obks of War
To Last--Rankin
"The American journalism of the
present can not produce the great lit-
erature of the future," Prof. T. E.
Rankin of the rhetoric department,
said in his, lecture on "The Effect of
Var on Literature." ,
The literature that does come, which
will be here after a period of twenty
or thirty years, will be less emotional
and more intellectual, according to
Professor Rankin. What country or
countries that will produce such a:
literature cannot be determined now,
but the best that was produced during
the war was that of France. This was
caused by the fact that France saw
most of the fighting, the professor con-
tinued. .
The reason assigned by Professor
Raiin that literature would not come
from America was that our present
literature, journalism, is an industry,
while literature is an art. Even the
feature stories of the present are mere
valets dressed in the masters' clothes.
Six books that have come out of the
war would, Professor Rankin thought,
withstand the test of time. These are
Lissauer's "Hymn of Hate," Ibanez's
"The Four Horsemen of the Apol-
calypse," Andreyev's "The Sorrows of
Belgium," Kipling's "The Eyes of
Asia," certain international communi-
cations of Woodrow Wilson, and Cap-
tain Paul Pattee's "LeCran."

rector of the psycopathic clinic of tie
were Wayne County Juvenile court, in her
gates, address on "Psycopaths Who Appear
n re- Before the Court," Tuesday evening in
ell in the Natural Science auditorium.
gates "Not all offenders who appear before
11 the the court are mentally defective," Dr.
Cor- Perkins said. "Many of them are real
problems unless they are understood,
. D. and a large number among the delin-
Por: quent classes can be aided. Statistics
ewart show that beINeen 30 and 40 per cent
of the children that come before the
Juvenile court are feeble-minded. The
N law however, takes no- cognizance of
their condition if they have committed
JEY crimes. 1
"Psyconeurotics, however, are very
.Con- uncertain and are not able to get along
way without scientific help.; The feeble-
I clay minded children are the most notice-
ld in able and easy to comprehend. Many
aw of of the boys and girls that appear be-
fore the court'present problems that
brook are most difficult to solve, although
, 6-4, many of them are not guilty of serious
it the crimes. If the environment of these
first poor children had been favorable, they
nting would.not commit offenses."
In referring to the mentally defect-

else- they commit petty crimes and aye

stand said, "that these boys and girls lack

that it is quite apparent that some
special provision be, made for the un-

PROFESSOR HANDLES SUBJECT
IN AN ENTIRELY NEW MANNER
"Principles of !nimal Biology," by
Prof. A. Franklin Shull of zoology
has been received so well by teachers
in this field that within a period of
two months from the time of its first
appearance it has been adopted by 24
of 'the largest colleges and universi-
ties in the country.
According to the author the work
was gotten out in answer to the. de-
aind for a more modern method of
studying zoology. The method em-
ploye* up to this time has been to
take the forms of the various classes
of anithal, and beginning with the
mot simple or lowest form of animal,
the protozoa, take each class separate-
ly, describing its structure, and when
through leaving/t and repeatiAg with
the next class."
had No Connection
In using this method there was no
connection between the different forms
studied. tThis system was used here
up to three years ago, when the course
was reorganized. The first part of the
work to undergo change was that in
the laboratory.
Under the new plan the exercises
were developed around biologic prin-
ciples, that ifinstead of taking some
form of animal life and learning about
its mere structure, an attempt was
made to teach it according to prin-
ciples of physiology, geographical dis-
tribution, paleontology, evolution, and
ecology.'
When the laboratory work was or-
ganized on such a basis it was found
that no textbook could be secured that
might be used in conjunction with the
labpratory work. Two books were
tyied. One was elementary and the
other, besides *having a great many
errors, was not written by a zoologist,
but a physician, who emphasized the
medical points rather than the zoologic
ones. Each was used for one year,
and then Dr. Shull started work on
his new book, developing it along the
lines that were used in reorganizing
the laboratory work.

DECLARES PRO-
FESSOR
Confusion with diplomacy, unreal
and impractical rules, and an empha-
sis placed upon the means of limiting
the havoc of warfare rather than upon
the means of bringing about peaceful
settlements of disputes, were declared
by Prof. E. D. Dickinson, of the Law
school, to be the three great weak-
nesses of modern international las, in
his address on "The Outlook for I er-
national Law," yesterday afternoon.
Diseqssing the confusion of inter-
national law with diplomacy, Professor
Dickinson said the recognition of new
states and old states with new gov-
ernments was frequently based on po-
litical expediency instead, of interna-
tional justice. "A new state may have
all the essentials of stable existence,"
he said, "and still not be recognized by
the governments of established states,
thereby depriving its people of the

BUTLER RUNNING QUARTER ]
BETTEI4 THAN EVER BEFORE
Carl Johnson and Larry Butler,l
Michigan's Olympic candidates, left at
2145 o'clock yesterday afternoon for
Boston, where they will compete in the
finals Friday and Saturday in the Har-
vard stadium. Johnson arrived in the
city Monday night from Spokane,
where he has been training 'for the
last few weeks.
Leave Early
A telegram received Monday caused
the hurried departure of the athletes
a day early. The message stated that
preliminaries in many events would be
run off Friday, and this necessitated
leaving Tuesday, instead of Wednes-i
day, as formerly planned. The men
will arrive in Boston this afternoon.
In the broad jump Johnson has been
working out, and with .good' weather+
he is expected to go over 23 feet 6
inches. From present dope, only one
bhan, Sol Butler, has any chance to
better this record, and in all prob-
ability Carl will take a first in this
event, which will give him a sure
place on the squad.
Butler Going Best
Larry Butler, eptain-elect, has been
going the best that he has ever done
in the quarter mile. In a last time
trial Saturday morning the star 440
man clipped off his distance in :49 flat,
better than which only a few men have
beenable to do this year. As 'he was
running against time, a difficult feat,
there is a chance for him to do even
better, although there may be adverse
weather conditions which will slow
him up. He has had only light work-
outs this week.
Steve Farrell, the Michigan coach,
did not accompany the men. As yet
no official word of thee pentathlon has
been received, the Olympic committee
not yet having picked the men for this
event.
